1. FSX does not support duel core (at least not yet).
2. No card on the market (not even SLI) can get you the fps you desire. Not until DX10 comes out that is.
3. Bottoms up.

I'm getting playable results on a year old 7800gt256..

I'd imagine a 7950 series 512MB card would do pretty well.

I'll bet

...and if someone ever mentions DUEL core again I will go crackers... :o...!

Say after me...

..."Dual core"...

...and again...

..." DUAL CORE!"...

...thank-you... ;D...!

Paul... 8)...!

P.S. ...must look further into this idea of getting a PC (Personal Computer?) and a graphics card (whatever that is?) to play this FSX game... ::)...!

The DX10 8800GTX comes out in a few days and is around 95% faster than the fastest current DX9 card.

You can have two, or rumoured three in SLI. I have no doubt these could max out fsX.
